A man claiming to be ?21, from Hull and I?m not going to lie to you I?m just out of prison? is knocking on the doors selling something in our street in ED.

When I politely said ?no thank you? he said ?that?s very arrogant of you?.

I heard him knock on my neighbours door. When my male neighbour answered and said the same thing, the man replied ?thanks mate no problem?. The man was reporting back what happened at each door, into his mobile phone.


Very strange and unwelcome.

The man was short, with short brown hair.

He just knocked on my door too, I looked through the window to check if it was a delivery for someone else in the family, when I said no thanks through the window, he just said that's ok thanks and walked off quickly. I didn't see him use his mobile though.

I had a guy fitting the same description and the same story on Ulverscroft rd a couple of weeks ago. He asked me for money as he?d just got out of prison. I told him I didn?t have any cash in the house he said ok and left but slammed my get ridiculously hard on the way out!
We had the same yesterday afternoon - guy knocking on the door, prison rehab scheme etc. My husband answered and politely said no thanks, to which he was questioned why not?! My husband again said no thank you, I?m not interested mate, I don?t buy things on the doorstep. The guy stormed off down the path not before shouting, ?Thanks a lot you w***er!! ?
This has been going on for years around here - see also the 'ex offenders selling cloths' - imagine its not always the same person, but the technique is the same - there was talk about it being an organised thing whereby they report back to someone who runs the scheme - don't think any are legit.

    • Up on Champion Hill https://www.dulwichartgroup.co.uk/ https://maps.app.goo.gl/5ta13RjoewjMw1VW6 They also do tutored classes in Life Drawing, oils, landscapes etc. One of my friends did a semester, and highly rated it!
    • The point is Seph,  that if I was in charge of the government, even if it has no hope, it would be making me wonder why people were signing . Especially if it gets much bigger.  Who knows, maybe there will be a reshuffle at the top. 
    • If I was a half-aware human being I would wonder why anyone would believe those signatories were real and not bots    but even if they were real - uk elections are held every 4 or 5 years.  Now sit down everyone 
    • The concept of Rachel Reeves being deposed from power soon may well have some validity.  There is an online pertition that I was sent this afternoon calling for a new general election based on "I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election."  Thos afternoon it had 750,000 signatures now at 10pm on Sunday evening it had over 1.6 million signatures.  Whilst it has no hope, if I was Kier I would be questioning why so many people seem to be up in arms.
